Jananas Bananas

OK I am trying to goggle - so many to go through. I was in my storage building/green house getting out Christmas decorations and this guy was under some stuff I was picking up. I tried to get him out of my building with a broom but he just tried striking at it. I won't kill anything and am a bit rattled right now. So any ID help would be appreciated. We are expecting a 3 day cold snap here and besides taking my Christmas decorations out - I am moving my plants inside. And this little guy is now loose in my building somehere. I already have several boxes inside my house and now I am worried I brought snakes in my house. Please help me if you can! ~JaNan

Almost looks like a copperhead snake...

Coloration is similar to the Texas Rat Snake:

Here's your fast check, though. Poisonous snakes have slit pupils, like cats. This guy has round pupils, so he's unlikely to be venomous.
I'm with SBL on Texas Rat Snake. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_rat_snake) says they're not venomous.
Thanx Beth :) ! Didnt even notice those round eyes! I'd still be Real cautious till Absolute ID can be made. My Fave's the Reticulated Pythons!

SBL - I hope it IS a Texas Rat Snake. It is very, very close to your picture. I'm going to keep telling myself that is what it is.
Blake - I hope it is NOT a Copperhead!!! (this was actually my fear and my first thought when I first saw it) I think (but am not for sure) that a Copperheads' head is totally copper colored. This guy is wearing goggles or a mask on his head.
James - a ball python is not venomous right?
Lorax - I am voting with Texas Rat Snake too. I did not know that about the eyes. I always heard that the poison ones have a certain shaped head.
Eric - my second thought was a baby Rattlesnake - of course I always think of the poison ones!
I don't care what kind it is as long as it isn't poisonous. I think it is a young one, not very big around, but over a foot to a foot and a half long. ~J

Eric / JaNan - the eye thing is the first thing I learned when I moved down here. Snake diversity in the tropics is absolutely mind-boggling, and I needed a fast check to see whether I could safely handle the snakes that normally turn up in my banana canopies or not.
JaNan, you're absolutely right about a distinctive wedge-shaped head on a narrow neck being a telltale for pit vipers, but that's not going to help you on other venomous snakes (like corals, for example). However, the eye thing holds true for all of them.

If it has a weird shovel like nose than it's a hognose snake! The coolest snakes! They are one of the most friendly snake in the world and wont attempt to bite even if a finger is forced in its mouth. They have a remarkable defense display: first it spreads a hood like a cobra and starts hissing loudly it will falsely strike with its mouth closed. If all fails, it will lie on its back and play dead! Hognose snakes use their shovel like nose to dog for toads in the ground. They vary greatly in color, from brown with blotches (like the pic shown) to mahogany black. Look it up it could be it. Most likely a western hognose. I don't see any shovel like nose but otherwise it looks just like one.

Most people don't seem to realize how important snakes are in keeping the rodent populations in check (and the ones that cause destruction of bananas!) It annoys me when people chop up every snake they find which ends up hurting everyone by filling their houses and yards with rodents such as mice.
And when you have too many rodents, you get a tick problem.... ....Lyme's Disease etc

I Totally Agree! And I Really Appreciate JaNan for not hurting it... just being careful, instead :) ! A lady I know, hacked a poor garden snake with a hoe cause it spooked her :(. I took it home & took care of it. Named it Andy and when it got well, I turned it loose in our gardens.

I have a no kill snake policy too.. unless it's a watermockacin, rattler (including pygmy), or anything else poisonous then it bites the dust. I don't kill reptiles normally period They eat my bugs :^) and I do have plenty of lil fellers hanging out on my banana's indoor's (not in the house) and out.... waiting for lunch :^)

Super! Been trying to attract snakes, here. Have a frog that moved into my bamboo jungle by the back pond. May have snakes hanging out in the bamboo that I just haven't seen yet! It just looks like a nice peaceful jungle... till I step into it... then a million birds suddenly fly out of it, LOL :ha: :ha: !
Btw, I will eliminate a poisonous snake if it's living around the house. When it's "me or the snake", I win every time :) !
Well, so far.

Your snake looks like a juvenile Elaphae obsoleta (Rat Snake), but without closer inspection I cannot tell the subspecies (Black, Gray, Yellow). It is a very cool snake to have around your yard. It is NOT venomous, it is a constrictor that feeds on rodents.
I also have a no Kill policy, if it is venomous I catch and release in an appropriate preserve. :2239:

I don't kill non-poisionous snakes, but rattlers, corals and mocasins are in danger if I see them. I can appreciate people who don't kill them, but there are just too many around here.

For my part, I try to keep almost all of the snakes I encounter alive - this includes the corals and the green canopy vipers. The exception is a pit-viper called an Equis or Fer-de-Lance (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&resnum=0&q=bothrops%20atrox&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi). These I kill on sight, because they're vicious, extremely venomous, and likely to track people who disturb them in order to strike them.

OK Gang I need your help again! I just found this snake in MY BEDROOM!!! :( I do not want to share my house with snakes. This is bad enough out in the storage building/greenhouse. I am here by myself, scared, and I cannot TOUCH it! It is not the same snake as the goggles or mask is positioned differently but I think it is a Texas Rat snake again - though this one is rattleing it's tail. My cats are trying to get it but now it has gone into the wall somewhere in my closet. I AM FREAKING out! Trying to calm down. Please can anyone tell me how to get rid of it???? Sorry, I am usually pretty brave, but I am not right now!

Looks like another rat snake (snakes are very variable with age and individual). Since you don't want to pick it up, you can get a pair of tongs and pick it up right behind the head and move it outside.
Is there an actual rattle or is it just shaking it's tail that way? Maybe your local animal control officer would help. If you don't mind turning off or down the heat in most of the house it may be attracted to a warm spot where you could catch it..... throwing a towel over and grabbing it it works well if you're not too squeemish aout that sort of thing. Pinning it down with a golf club or something similar would work too.
Good luck.

Jananas Bananas
12-15-2009, 04:31 PM
OK, the snake has not come back out from the wall - it is still inside the wall somewhere apparently. I just got off the phone with Animal Control and they said they no longer come out and get snakes. Yippee! They said to call a Pest Service.
I am a tad bit calmer now though I am not feeling very safe in my own home right now. I couldn't tell about the tail. I just know the sound was scarey. I think it is a Texas Rat snake again like I originally started this post with. The tongs are a good idea. I think I have some long barbque ones that I can use. If I can get hold of it I just hope I won't squeeze it too hard just because I am nervous.
I have those sonic devices all over my house and they work well for mice. Living in the country and having oats and horse feed you always have field mice. They don't bother me, and I know snakes like mice. I just can't share my house with them. Bleeehhhh!
Don't even try tongs... won't work . Dont be afraid of hurting them with too much pressure either if you decide to grab it. Do it firm as possible and just get it over with.

My internet search turned up results mostly on how to prevent the problem you have; here's one workable solution for your current predicament.
"I recommend the use of sticky boards, a very sticky cardboard device that can usually be purchased at most hardware stores or other stores selling garden supplies or pesticides. These boards are also used to trap mice and rats and come in a variety of sizes. The larger size sticky boards can be tacked to an appropriate sized sheet of plywood and placed in the area the snake may travel. When the snake passes over the sticky board, it becomes trapped. The plywood sheet may then be moved outside and the snake can either be killed or released."
Not much else I found--aside from calling the pest control folks, which of course you'd already tried without much help at all.
Or, get one brawny guy to grab it by the tail and take it out to the trash.
I'd be in hysterics in your shoes.

12-15-2009, 09:42 PM
I'm laughing trying to picture someone "releasing" a snake stuck to those sticky traps on that plywood! I've ripped limbs off of rodents trying to get them off and can only imagine trying to get a snake off, especially if it's rattling it's tale! I like my shotgun idea better. :ha:

The juvenile snake is just looking for a warm place to spend the winter. Small snakes can be swept into a shovel and deposited outside.
While coral snakes have a dangerous toxin in the venom, they as not nearly as dangerous as the vipers. They should not be handled nor killed.

We have tons of those same rat snakes at our place. People here call them either rat snakes or cow snakes and we have an old farm house on the property that my daughter & family live in (we used to live in it) that also houses these snakes. You do have to be careful grabbing them though. One squeezed the dickens out of my husband's arm when we first moved in. We thought that we'd take them down the road and deposit them in a field but then found out that snakes will travel long distances to go back 'home'. :ha: I didn't like living with them either. We found one coiled up sleeping in a kitchen cupboard once. Luckily my daughter would rather have snakes than mice so I guess all is good. They find snake skins afew times a year either in the basment or on the stairs going up to the attic.
Good luck as we have searched and searched for snake repellent methods in the past and nothing worked. The snakes have won and we just had to get used to it!

This is as much as I ever saw of it. I can't identify it but maybe some of you that are more familiar with them can. I just pray it is not a poisonous one. As some of you know I am terrified of snakes, and I certainly do not want to share my home with them. :islandsharkbanana: Oh. and I used the zoom lens on the camera, I was not that close to it's face!!!!!

Migael I THINK the pupils are round but not totally sure. It creeps me out just to look at the pictures. But I enlarged it and that is what they appear to be.
Jack I have really been nice, at least I think, not wanting to harm them. But I am losing my patience with them. Actually, I always heard they "taste like chicken"! HA! HA! And this is what I want to do :2723:
Doc I don't know, you are the one that identified the last one for me.
Tony, I DO need a pet mongoose!!! The small one would work for me - Sounds like it would eat my chickens though and I have enough trouble with hawks and the chickens as it is. I did read about that snake trap in your link. I just don't think I am brave enough to pour cooking oil over it to let it go. I think Lowe's or Home Depot sells some sort of snake repellent but I just don't think that would work INSIDE my house from what I have read. It is external and on the ground.
Shoot for all I know it could be the one that was in the bedroom last fall. It may have lived in my walls and attic all this time. Do they do that? I never did catch that one and get rid of it.
What about moth balls? Seems like I heard or read that moth balls repels snakes. Would those fumes be harmful to me and my cats inside the house? I know I am grasping at straws.

A Western Diamondback rattler, the black and white bands near the rattle base is a good indicator. Small but feisty I'm sure, what was the length about 4 feet (1.1 meters) ?
I've caught an Eastern Diamondback about the same size in my previous front yard in Florida. They are much calmer than the Western Diamonbacks.
Nice catch! :jalapenonaner:

Cory, I generally run around here in flip flops, so I am am not thrilled with this latest snake that's for sure.
Caloosamusa, I'm guessing it was 2 to 2 1/2 feet long. The shed snakeskin I found in the attic a couple of weeks ago was about 6 feet long. That I think was the one looking out over the crown molding. That one wasn't a rattlesnake though (at least I don't think so).
